There she is sitting there

F#7/A# B

Out behind the smoke-house in her rocking chair

She don't say nothin'

She don't do nothin'

F#7/A#

She don't feel nothin'

She don't know nothin'

F# Ebm7 G#7/C

Maybe she's crazy, I don't know

C#7sus4 F# Badd9

Maybe that's why I love her so

Her papa was a midget

C#7/G#

Her mama was a whore

F#7/A# B

Her grandad was a newsboy 'til he was eighty-four (What a slimy old bastard he was)

Man don't you think I know she hates me

Man don't you think I know that she's no good

F#7/A#

If she knew how she'd be unfaithful to me

I think she'd kill me if she could

Maybe that's why I love her so

I have the strength to carry on

Today we will be married

And all the people from the village will be there

To congratulate us

I will carry her across the threshold

I will attempt to spend my love within her

Though I will try with all my might

She will laugh at my mighty sword

Why must everybody laugh at my mighty sword?

Lord, help me if you will

F# Ebm7 G#7/C
